Good morning Phil, Please find some updates below. > I think the situation looks worse now. The reshape finished and resync > has begun. During the resync I've found many errors concerning > /dev/sdf which is the part of the md127. Example below: The resync operation actually completed and the details of md127 looks as follows: [root@sysresccd ~]# mdadm --detail /dev/md127 /dev/md127: Version : 1.2 Creation Time : Thu Dec 25 12:15:20 2014 Raid Level : raid6 Array Size : 7813771264 (7451.79 GiB 8001.30 GB) Used Dev Size : 3906885632 (3725.90 GiB 4000.65 GB) Raid Devices : 4 Total Devices : 4 Persistence : Superblock is persistent Intent Bitmap : Internal Update Time : Wed Sep 4 03:15:29 2019 State : clean Active Devices : 4 Working Devices : 4 Failed Devices : 0 Spare Devices : 0 Layout : left-symmetric Chunk Size : 512K Name : debnas:0 UUID : a3d7766c:aeb658d3:8e2d29b7:4de30dab Events : 223869 Number Major Minor RaidDevice State 5 8 1 0 active sync /dev/sda1 4 8 49 1 active sync /dev/sdd1 3 8 81 2 active sync /dev/sdf1 6 8 97 3 active sync /dev/sdg1 `dmesg` didn't report any more read errors in /dev/sdf and the `smartctl -a` for this drive looks unchanged in terms of current_pending_sectors. > > The contents of `/proc/mdstat` are the following: > Right now it looks as follows: [root@sysresccd ~]# cat /proc/mdstat Personalities : [raid6] [raid5] [raid4] md127 : active raid6 sda1[5] sdg1[6] sdd1[4] sdf1[3] 7813771264 blocks super 1.2 level 6, 512k chunk, algorithm 2 [4/4] [UUUU] bitmap: 0/30 pages [0KB], 65536KB chunk unused devices: <none> > Is the data in danger in this state? The data seems to be intact. I've collected the log from `dmesg` to review later what was the files at the corrected and uncorrected sectors to see if they are still correct. Also, answering the question from your previous mail: > Uhm? Why are you running perf during this reshape? I did not run it on purpose. It has been executed by SystemRescueCD. I don't know what it exactly is and what may be the consequences of it running during the reshape. Quick Google search didn't result in much more information than it's a module to control the performance. Best regards, Krzysztof Jakobczyk
